After all, he is routinely condemned by many due to his role as the very public face of Scientology.

Film Review: Jurassic Park 3D (1993)

Equal parts exciting, amusing, frightening and spectacular, this is how it’s done. Go and see it on the big screen because the television doesn’t do it justice.

Film Review: Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)

So, you want to make an adventure movie, do you? All right, I can see why; they’re as popular as popular can be these days and boy, do they make a lot of money. I love a good swashbuckling adventure, who doesn’t?  You can count me in, but remember, everyone’s making them today, you have to be careful, have to [...]

Film Review: Mama (2013)

Mama is a film ripe with horror clichés, some of the setups seem oddly familiar and there are scenes that leave you scratching your head with a feeling of déjà vu, swearing you’d seen what just happened in Japanese horrors The Ring or The Grudge.

Film Review: Anna Karenina (2012)

Despite its faithfulness, the story is dull and dreary, and neither Stoppard, Wright, nor the actors change the fact. The one exception is Matthew Macfadyen, whose comical and lively performance is a breath of fresh air amongst the turgid, boring love affair being played out before our eyes.

Film Review: Les Misérables (2012)

It seems strange to write that actors singing in a musical is revolutionary, but in this case it is. Appropriately, the revolution is made with the late nineteenth century tale of Les Misérables. Over thirty years since debuting on the Paris stage, Oscar winning director Tom Hooper and producer Cameron Mackintosh have brought the musical to the big screen.
